Abstract
Casting is a process for the production of complex shapes. Defects are unavoidable in any casting process. An efficient method of eliminating such defects can improve the process capability of the casting system. Computer simulation can save time, resources, and money in foundry trials, but it necessitates more human effort in terms of preparing the inputs and appropriately interpreting the results. In this work, a new method for evaluating and optimizing gating system design utilizing a simulation tool is proposed. It is possible to automatically modify the gating design with the help of CAD and casting simulation software from a given initial design and boundary conditions, and to check whether the design is effective to eliminate defects. Further this takes less human effort, making it more useful for industrial applications. The suggested methodology is demonstrated by autonomously optimizing the gating system for two industrial components and validated by producing actual castings made in sand molds.
